For   instance,   in  one  real  analog  compressor   that   we  studied,  the  harmonic   distorKon  at   the  

point  of  aSack  was  a  different  profile  than  that  of  the  instance  of  release.  Both  of  these  profiles  

were  different  depending  on  the  source  file  that  was  used.  Overall,  compression  is  an  extremely  

complex   set   of  nonlinear   reacKons,   and  replicaKng  them  authenKcally   is  the  only   way   to  get  

real  analog  tone  out  of  a  digital  model.

At  Slate  Digital,   we  wanted  to  offer   compressor   plug-­‐ins  that   truly   responded  with  the  same  

expressive  analog  character  of  real  analog  compressors.  We  started  way  back  in  the  summer  of  

2010,  with  Fabrice  Gabriel  and  Slate  Technical  Director  Anthony   Tagliane_  doing  hundreds  of  

measurements  on  some  of  the  most  sought  a]er  vintage  compressors  in  the  industry.  And  now  

in  2013,  we  offer  our  first  compressor  bundle  called  the  Virtual  Buss  Compressors.  

The  three  compressors  intended  for   stereo  buss  use  will  amaze  your   ears  with  their   unique  

tone,  versaKlity,  musicality,  and  authenKcity.  As  an  audio  engineer  myself,  I  am  ecstaKc   that  I  

can   now   have   plug-­‐in   compressors   that   exhibit   the   real   tone   and   vibe   that   I've   become  

accustom  to  for  years  with  my  analog  compressors.  I  hope  you  enjoy   this  wonderful  processor  

on  your  mixes  as  much  as  I  enjoy  it  on  my  own.
